One reason Dad had so many children was that he was confident anything he and Mother teamed upon was sure to be a success.Our house at Montclair, New Jersey, was a sort of school for scientific management and the removal of wasted motions —or “motion study,” as Dad and Mother named it.Dad took moving pictures of us children washing dishes, so that he could determine how we could reduce our motions and thus hurry through the task. Each child who wanted extra pocket money put forward an offer saying what he would do the job for. The lowest bidder got the contract(合约).Dad put process and work charts in the bathrooms. Every child old enough to write — and Dad expected his children to start writing at a young age — was required to sign their names on the charts in the morning after he had brushed his teeth, taken a bath, combed his hair, and made his bed. At night, each child had to weigh himself, mark the figure on a graph, and sign the process charts again after he had done his homework, washed his hands and face, and brushed his teeth. Mother wanted to have a place on the charts for saying prayers, but Dad said as far as he was concerned prayers were voluntary.It was strict management, all right. Yes, at home or on the job, Dad was always the efficiency expert. He buttoned his vest from the bottom up, instead of from the top down, because the bottom-to-top process took him only three seconds, while the top-to-bottom took seven. He even used two shaving brushes to make his face smooth enough, because he found that by so doing he could cut seventeen seconds off his shaving time. For a while he tried shaving with two razors, but he finally gave that up.“I can save forty-four seconds,” he complained, “but I wasted two minutes this morning putting this bandage on my throat.” It wasn’t the in jured throat that really bothered him. It was the two minutes.24．Why was the author’s house considered a sort of school?A. It had a team of twelve children there.B. The children were taught how to work well in it.C. The parents could teach their children better at home.D. The parents could have the children’s daily activities recorded.25．What is the purpose of signing the charts?A. To help to do things efficiently.B. To manage the big family effectively.C. To look after the children better.D. To remind the children to obey the rules.26．What did the father complain about one morning?A. He should have given up shaving.B. His bleeding throat bothered him.C. He couldn’t shave with two razors.D. He failed to cut short his shaving time.27．We can we infer from the text?A. The kids had to bid for everything they wanted.B. The author took pride in his father’s management.C. The couple were always troubled by their children.D. The father’s work was to teach the children at home.CAmerican college students are becoming more adventuresome as they study abroad, showing less interests in English-speaking destinations such as Great Britain and Australia and more in such countries as China, India, Argentina and Brazil.Britain remained the most popular study destination in 2005, according to annual figures from the Institute of International Education, followed by Italy, Spain and France. But the number of Americanstudents studying in Britain and Australia descended a little, even as the number of American students abroad rose by 8%. The growth came in non-English speaking European countries and in Asia. China is now the eighth most popular destination for American students, attracting nearly 6,400 in 2005, up 35% from the number of the year before. Argentina and India saw increases of more than 50%.Allan Goodman, president of the Institute of International Education, said that a range of factors contributed to the trend, from growing awareness of globalization after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, to programs such as former President Bush’s National Security Language Initiative, which trains soldiers, intelligence officers and diplomats in foreign languages. “What Americans are doing is waking up and discovering there’s a world out there,” he said.Other figures showed the flow of students in the opposite direction, from foreign countries into American universities. The institute found that international enrollment (入学) in American higher education remained steady at about 565,000. The figures are of keen interest to universities, which depend on foreign students for teaching and research help, and to policy-makers, who consider it important, as future foreign leaders may be familiar with the United States. The year of 2005 saw big increases in students from South Korea, Mexico and Taiwan of China. India sends the most students and China is No.2. Other countries that show large percentage increases in the number of students sent to the US include Nepal and Vietnam, while Japan, Turkey and Malaysia saw declines. About 58% of international students in the US come from Asia.28．What does the underlined word “descended” in Paragraph 2 means?A. Changed.B. Declined.C. Multiplied.D. Increased.29．Why do more American students study in Asia?A. They expect to get more teaching and research help.B. They lose confidence in English-speaking countries.C. They are afraid that terrorist attacks will happen again.D. They prefer to explore a different world from their own.30．Where were most foreign students in America from in 2005?A. China.B. India.C. Argentina.D. Britain.31．What can we infer from the passage?A. There were 6,400 American students studying in China in 2005.B. Chinese students to America will overpass Indians in the future.C. International enrollment in American higher education changed a lot.D. Asian students account for a large part of foreign students in America.DResearch finds out why some people are constantly under attack from the bloodsucking insects while others walk free.For those unfortunate enough to feature highly on the mosquito hit list, summer nights can be synonymous with mosquito bites. Yet others hardly ever get bitten. So how do the bloodthirsty insects select their victims?The insec ts’ tastes may seem arbitrary. However, research shows that when mosquitoes make their choices between potential victims, it all comes down to scent (气味).“Mosquitoes are attracted by carbon dioxide and heat, which everyone gives off. But mosquitoes are al so attracted by certain scents,” says Karl-Martin Vagn Jensen, the head of research at the Department of Agricultural Science at Arhus University.According to Jensen, it has not yet been confirmed exactly what the scents in question are. But research does indicate that some scents are more attractive to mosquitoes than others.“All the lab employees rubbed petri dishes (培养皿) against their stomachs. In that way, their scents were put on the dishes, which were then put in a container full of mosquitoes,” he says. “The mosquitoes repeatedly landed on some of the petri dishes, but didn’t go anywhere near the others.”Perhaps taking inspiration from popular fiction, there are also those who consider garlic as an excellent repellent (驱虫剂) against the winged bloodsuckers. According to the researcher, this strategy may not be entirely fruitless. “As far as I know, there is no scientific proof that eating garlic works. But there may be something to the theory that it’s possible to mask scent with garlic,” he says. Th e only reliable method of protection against mosquitoes is to use repellents that are sold over the counter. It contains some smells that can confuse the mosquitoes. When the mosquito comes closer, it uses smell, heat and carbon dioxide to decide whether to bite. But if it is confused by a repellent, it will never get that far.32．Which of the following can best replace the phrase underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Be equal to.B. Be accessible to.C. Be harmful to.D. Be beneficial to.33．What can we infer about the scents attracting mosquitoes?A. Mosquitoes can be attracted by various scents.B. Some kinds of scents appeal to mosquitoes in particular.C. The lab employees use petri dishes to deposit their scents.D. Mosquitoes are arbitrary when it comes to different scents.34．What is the main idea of the last Paragraph?A. A new strategy is used in researching repellents.B. Garlic is considered to be an excellent repellent.C. Using repellents is an effective way against mosquitoes.D. The inspiration against mosquitoes is from popular fiction.35．Where is the text most probably taken from?A. Science fiction.B. A biography.C. A medical report.D. A research paper.三、七选五Happiness begins from appreciationIf you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive. When stressed, depressed, upset or otherwise in a negative state of mind because you are aware that misfortune keeps occurring, it is important to shift those negative thoughts to something positive. 36．It is often very hard to think positive when so many things are negative, but be sure that someone, somewhere is worse off than you. 37．If you start with one small, positive thing and appreciate it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation and people will start showing up in your life. With appreciation, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, regardless of the events around you. 38．● Begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful, glorious day!”● When you see the rise of gas prices, say “I am so glad to have a vehicle in which to get around.”● When your boss is too hard on you, say “I am grateful for my job as I know that many don’t have one.”● If you are having health problems, be grateful for what does work: “I really do appreciate it that my eyes see, my ears hear, my mouth tastes, my legs walk, my arms lift and my mind thinks and everything else works.”● Write down what you’re grateful for each day. In moments when you’re feeling really down, read loud what you wrote previously. 39．If you practice this regularly, you will find your list getting longer and longer.The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of appreciation. 40．A. This will certainly help uplift your spirits.B. If not, you will only attract more misfortune.C. It is of great importance to learn to be grateful.D. The more you appreciate, the happier you’ll be.E. If you have made some achievements in your career.F. Here are a few common examples for you to practice.G.

My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer road trip.As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip, I came across a book—Jim Trelease's The Read-Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem, I thought. So I put Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation, "The book you read in the car."Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.（1）Why did the author start reading in the car?A She wanted to have a better journey.B She wanted to keep a familytradition. C Her children were addicted to reading. D Her children were tired of the cassette.（2）How did the children react after the author read a few lines?A They kept fighting.B They hid themselves.C They soon settled down.D They read together aloud.（3）What can we learn about the author and her family's trip to the beach?A They were caught in a storm.B They enjoyed reading on the road.C They had a good time on the beach.D They thought it had passed too quickly.（4）Which can be the best title for the text?A Better Traveling than ReadingB Books that Changed My ChildrenC Road Trips Full of ChallengesD Reading Makes Great Road Trips3. If your cat often waits too long outside at the door waiting to be let in, what would you do?Arkaitz Garro, a WeTransfer software engineer in Holland, decided to use his skills to solve the problem． Instead of setting up a good old catflap（猫洞） on his door, he wentfor a more hightech solution involving artificial intelligence, motiondetection（运动检测）sensors, face recognition software and a messaging app． It may be overkill, but Arkaitz claims that it only took him a few hours to do it, as all the hardware and software he used are readily available．It all started a few years ago, when Garro and his wife spotted a cat in their back balcony． Not knowing if it had been abandoned, lost by its owner, or simply homeless, they took it in, but also posted some pictures of it around their neighborhood, in case someone was looking for it．"We found out that the cat had an owner, just a few houses away and he was very happy to ‘share' the cat with us． Now it has two families who love him, " Arkaitz said．"So, he has developed a schedule to come at around specific times．"The problem was that neither Garro nor his wife could simply stand by the door waiting for it to show up, so he came up with a device made up of a minicomputer complete with a camera that would use motiondetection and image﹣recognition AI software to automatically identify the cat and then message him so he could let the animal in．"We just want to be notified when he is around, " Arkaitz explained． "When it detects movement, it sends the picture to a recognition software, which checks against the identity of the cat based on previous image of the cat．""It took me just a few hours to put all the pieces together and the software up and running, but some more time after to fine﹣tune the software to be able to recognize the cat, " Arkaitz said, but in the end it proved to be effective．（1）What did Arkaitz Garro think of his invention？________A It was moneysaving．B It was ecofriendly．C It was timeconsuming．D It was easilymade．（2）Why did Arkaitz Garro and his wife put up some pictures of the cat？________A To seek a shelter for it．B To find its true owner．C To look for a potential buyer．D To advertise its presence to its companions．（3）How does Arkaitz's system check against his cat's identity？________A By matching its image．B By identifying its smell．C By measuring its size．D By recognizing its voice．（4）What is the last step of Arkaitz's system when it works？________A Send a message．B Send the picture．C Detect movement．D Require identification．4.The arm bones of women who lived 7, 000 years ago show a surprising level of strength—even higher than today's professional women athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric（史前的）bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history—the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life."Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that the bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through," said lead author Alison Macintosh. "Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time."Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said—and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian（农耕的）one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone（胫骨）—and these changes were much more evident in men.However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bones of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. "By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient bones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were performing," Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn't changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11—16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers（桨手）, and 30 percent stronger than that of non-athlete women.（1）What does the study tell about prehistoric women?A They were stronger than men.B They had lighter bones than men.C They did tough tasks as the men did.D They spent most time staying at home.（2）What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?A They lacked enough comparison.B They only studied men's bones.C They focused little on bones.D They ignored the lifestyles.（3）What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A Bones' structure.B Bones' thickness.C Bones' response to stress.D Bones' stress from hard labor.（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph?A It's still hard to explain our ancestors' lifestyle.B Prehistoric women went through much suffering.C Women's arms have become much stronger overtime. D Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.Why we still need to read DickensWalk into any bookstore， and you can hardly avoid "bumping into" Charles Dickens． Many of Dickens' works still sell well today．（1）_______As someone who teaches Dickens， the question of why we still read him is often on my mind．（2）_______ One day nearly 10 years ago， however， when I was giving a lecture，I was telling the students that for Victorian readers， Dickens's writing was a "tune﹣in﹣next﹣week" type of thing that generated crazes．（3）_______ "But why should we still read this stuff？" the student asked． The answer I gave was only acceptable， "Because he teaches you how to think，" I said．The question annoyed me for years， for years， and for years I told myself answers， but never with complete satisfaction． We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times， but also a man for our times． We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences．（4）_______But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens． My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine． "We still read Dickens's novels，" she wrote， "because they tell us why we are what we are．" Simple as it was， that's the explanation I had sought for years．Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times．（5）_______ If you have time， go to pick up one of his many novels， read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself．A． Then a hand shot up．B． I know that wasn't really the reason．C． And they are placed on outstanding shelves．D． That question was never more troubling．E． That's why we still need to read him today．F． I already know who it is I'll meet in those novels．G． These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空．（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题上将该选项的标号涂黑．6.

AWhile beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, people tend to forget about lakes, which can be as equally beautiful a travel destination as beach holidays. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus.1). Lake VanLake Van is the must－visit of all lakes on this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake there. It's situated at 5，380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content.2) .Lake CildirLake Cildir is located in Ardahan Province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake in Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are not aware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not harsh, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.3). Lake ParavaniLake Paravani is located in the south of Georgia. This time, the elevation(海拔)gets a little higher, as this lake is located at 6，801ft above sea level. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing.4). Lake SevenLake Seven is situated in the central part of Armenia, in Gegharkunik Province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, located at 6，200ft above sea level. Along the lake shore, there are various kinds of accommodation such as resorts and hotels, with plenty of activities to take part in, such as windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing. Meanwhile, do not forget to visit one of the famous cultural monuments, the Sevanavank Monastery(修道院), and it offers a great view of the lake as well.21. If you go to Lake Cildir in early December, you________．A. can't find comfortable accommodation because of the cold weatherB. can try lots of outdoor activities such as windsurfing and swimmingC. should take some medicine for altitude sicknessD. can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing22. What is the most distinctive feature of Lake Paravani?A. It is the second largest freshwater lake in Eastern Turkey.B. It is a volcanic lake at a very high altitude.C. It is the largest lake in Turkey.D. It is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus.23. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Lake Seven?A. It is the largest lake in Armenia.B. It is situated in the central part of Armenia.C. It is located at 6，801ft above sea level.D. The famous Sevanavank Monastery is near the lake.BOne evening in 1972, my father was driving across Westminster when in the rear view mirror, he noticed a flash and pulled over, only to see a terrible explosion. A car behind him had just been involved in a terrible accident and was on fire. Without hesitation, Dad ran all the way to the scene. People were already standing around, staring, just as the flames began to reach around to the engine of the car. A little girl was screaming in the back seat, saying she couldn't get her seat belt undone. “It's hopeless，”somebody said, as everyone moved back, and some turned away.Dad suddenly pulled the child across the seat through the flames and out of the car. Then he carried her onto the street. He turned and walked out of the fire just as the rear window of the car exploded.Dad walked back to his car in a daze(茫然地) and drove on. By the time he returned home, everyone was already in bed, so without turning on the lights, he went to his room and lay down next to my mom. Dad said he was hurt, but Mom didn't know what he meant, and he was too tired to explain.My mother stared in disbelief at my father's swollen, red face and arms the next morning. He had been temporarily blinded and it took several days before he could fully see. He told her the story of how the girl was saved. Since my parents are private people, they didn't feel the need to talk about what had happened to anyone outside of the family.But that didn't keep the press away. Reports followed, identifying my father asthe “Mystery Rescuer”. Dad was to receive a Headliner Award from the Orange County Chamber of Commerce.Dad walked up to the stage to receive his award and said, “I'm not the hero.”Dad maintains to this day that the heroes there that night were those who fought when they were asked to fight, who stood behind their country, and who risked all that they had in a terrifying battle. “They weren't brave just once, but on a continuing basis, over and over again，”he said.24. What happened when the author's father was driving across Westminster?A. The engine of his car caught fire.B. He crashed into a car, which resulted in a terrible explosion.C. He took a risk to save a girl trapped in a burning car.D. He tried to help someone, but in vain.25. When the author's father arrived home，________．A. they found his face and arms were swollenB. the whole family was waiting for himC. he told his wife the whole storyD. he was both tired and in pain26. Which of the following words can best describe the author's father?A. Courageous and selfless.B. Ambitious and sensitive.C. Generous and respectable.D. Humorous and honest.27. What kind of person can be called a hero, according to the author's father?A. Someone who is brave enough to fight for his country continuously.B. Someone who takes risks to help others in need.C. Someone who volunteers to fight for his country.D. Someone who loves others and passes on love.C“Stop making excuses for him，Mom，”I said.“But maybe he is feeling unwell...” Mom said.“Maybe nothing，” I interrupted. I had been tending Mom sinceher health began to decline and this would be the first time in a year that my husband and I had a night out together. Jerry had promised to stay with Mom. But again he let us down. And more often than not，his drinking had a lot to do with it. His irresponsibility upset me.I remembered our happy growing-up years in a small town in West Virginia. With good family education，Jerry had been a kind kid. He was only 15 when Dad died. Unlike him，I got over the sorrow soon，but he started drinking. Soon he began hanging out with bad guys.Jerry and I didn’t see each other often，but we talked on the phone. Usually，though，we ended up fighting. When Mom came to live with us，Jerry dropped in regularly at first，but after a while his visits became sporadic. He explained he couldn’t handle seeing Mom in such a bad condition. Another excuse，I thought.One day I went to see th e doctor about my back.It had been aching for months.“I can’t find anything wrong with you physically，”the doctor said.“But I can tell you’re very tense. Is something bothering you？” I poured out my story about Jerry.“Do you think he’s likely to change？” h e asked. I shrugged.“Probably not.”“But，you can，”he said gently.Me？Why did I have to change？He was the one who constantly let us down.But what had I done？Maybe the doctor was right. I couldn’t love his behavior，but I could love him—the way I did when we were little. As I walked into the house I sensed a relief.Jerry died young due to drinking .I miss him. But I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to show him I loved him—as he was，not as I wanted him to be.28. Jerry got into the habit of drinking mainly because________.A.he was influenced by bad guysB.his mom left to live with his sisterC.nobody cared for him after his father diedD.he couldn’t get over the sadness of losing his father29. The underlined word “sporadic”in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．A.occasionalB.frequentC.formalD.unpleasant30. What did the author think of the doctor’s suggestion at first?A.It was acceptable.B.It gave her much hope.C.It was unreasonable.D.It made her confused.31. What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Love can help a person give up bad habits.B.Too much tension will destroy a person’s health.C.We shouldn’t expect too much of a person.D.We should try to love a person as he is.DInsects trapped in fossilized amber (琥珀) for tens of millions of years have provided the key to creating a new generation of antibiotic drugs that could start a war against modern diseases. Scientists have isolated the antibiotics from microbes(微生物) found either from these insects or in soil particles trapped with them when they were caught by sticky tree risen up to 130 million years ago.Present-day antibiotics have nearly all been isolated from microbes that use them as a form of defense against their enemies and competitors. But since the introduction of antibiotics into medicine 50 years ago, an alarming number have become ineffective because many bacteria have developed resistance to the drugs. Research over the past two years has uncovered at least four antibiotics from the microbes and one has been able to kill modern drug-resistant bacteria that can cause potentially deadly diseases in humans.Raul Cano, who has pioneered the research at the California Polytechnic State University, said the ancient antibiotics had been successful in fighting drug-resistant strains of staphylococcus (葡萄球菌)，a “superbug” that had threatened the health of patients in hospitals across the globe. He now intends to establish whether the antibiotics might have side effects. “The prob lem is how toxic they are to other cells and how easy they are to purify”，said Cano.Cano's findings have been acknowledged as a breakthrough. A biotechnology company, Ambergene, has been set up to develop the antibiotics into drugs. If any ancient microbes are revived (复活) that resemble present-day disease, they will be destroyed in case they escape and cause new epidemics. Drug companies will be anxious to study the chemical structures of the prehistoric antibiotics to see how they differ from modern drugs. They hope that one ancient molecule could be used as a basis to produce a range of drugs.However, even the use of ancient antibiotics may not stop the rise of drug-resistant bacteria. Stuart Levy warned that the bacteria would eventually evolve to fi ght back against the new drugs. “There might also be an enzyme already out there that can degrade it. So the only way to keep the life of that antibiotic going is to use it sensibly and not excessively，” he said.32. What problem has man faced since the use of antibiotics as medicine according to thepassage?A. Antibiotics are very difficult to purify.B. Antibiotics do harm to human health.C. Antibiotics resemble some disease-causing bacteria.D. Antibiotics are becoming ineffective in fighting against bacteria.33. Why are Cano's findings considered as a breakthrough in science?A. His discoveries will help revive ancient microbes.B. His discoveries will put an end to the rise of drug-resistant bacteria.C. The company Ambergene has applied the prehistoric antibiotics to drugs.D. The prehistoric antibiotics proved more deadly against drug-resistant modern bacteria.34.According to the last paragraph, what is Stuart Levy's attitude towards the use of ancientantibiotics ?A. Cautious.B. Contradictory.C. Confident.D. Critical.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Antibiotics－Dangerous or Not?B. Biotechnology Revealed Prehistoric SecretsC. Insect Antibiotics and Bacteria EvolutionD. Prehistoric Insects Might Help Invent New Drugs第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
